The Davenport Family: Winter Update

Since I haven't been updating this very well, here is what has been going on with us. Nicholas is cuter and funnier than ever. He says "No Uh-uh" to everything (turns out he got that from mama - it's amazing how you don't realize your phrases until your son copies you). For some reason he can't say yes, but instead will say "set". Nicholas' new phrases are "all done" and "gone gone." He is definitely down to one nap a day and still normally sleeps really well during the nap and at night (although the past few nights he woke up - we think he could be cutting another molar).

He loves "playing" with Bama (he calls him beagie since he can't seem to say Bama), but not vice versa. Nicholas tends to try to pull his tail or fur and will throw his toys at Bama. Bama, in turn, tends to head in the opposite direction when Nicholas is in the room. We are trying to teach him to be gentle with Bama, but it hasn't quite sunk in yet. Anytime any football game is on TV, Nicholas will say Roll Tide non-stop. I think Gabe has sufficiently claimed him as a Bama fan. He is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Every time Mickey used to come on, Nicholas would say "Ohhhh"! He loves dumping toys out of boxes - either his toy box or his box of blocks. He will usually refill the box and dump it again. Nicholas also loves the nursery at church. Most kids cling to their parents legs as they are leaving, but Nicholas just heads straight for the toys. We have the independent type on our hands.

A week ago, we experienced our second winter wonderland in a month. Nicholas was just so excited about it that he crashed in daddy's arms (which he never does anymore, so daddy was loving it!). Luckily we didn't lose power like everyone feared was going to happen with all the ice (especially since the Auburn National Championship game was on Monday!)
